When Everyone Knows You Have Been Hurt [3:15]
Shortly before The Bachelor, Estella Gardinier suffered a two-fold heartbreak. Her father passed away, then the man she was dating broke up with her. Then to top things off, after Bachelor Bob Guiney chose her, it was revealed that he was dating someone else when they were supposed to be working toward a relationship. The rejection was televised and she was really embarrassed!
But, she was determined to find her man. She searched dating coaches and found Marni!
Doing the Work [20:36]
After working with Marni for just a short time she had her first breakthrough. It had become clear to her that she was attracting emotionally unavailable men because she was emotionally unavailable. She felt she wanted to commit, but she was not prepared to fully open her heart, and men could sense it.
